Ejection Reports
During a game, the umpire(s) may be required to eject a player, coach, or even a spectator from a game for various reasons (yelling, punching, spitting, throwing equipment, etc.). It is the responsibility of the umpire to then report the ejection directly to Softball New Brunswick within the appropriate timeline.
Softball New Brunswick has made it easy for our umpires to report their ejections by providing a standard template which will ensure consistency across the province and that all details are included.
Steps to reporting an ejection:
- Ejection reports must be submitted by game official(s) no later than 24 hours after the ejections have occurred. Reports are to be emailed to the Regional Umpire In Chief (RUIC), SoftballNB Regional Director, and copy on the email the Provincial Umpire in Chief (PUIC) and SoftballNB Executive Director.
- Regional UIC and SoftballNB Regional Director will administer the punishment based on SoftballNB discipline policy’s guideline. If the offence warrants more than the outlined minimum penalty, the PUIC and SoftballNB Executive Director will be included in the process.
- If conflict of interest is declared by either the Regional UIC or Regional Director, their replacement will be appointed by the Provincial Umpire in Chief or Executive Director.
